I had her once. Or at least I thought I did. But that was a long time ago. Before prison. Before I became the Butcher. Seeing her now shouldn’t make me feel anything. It’s been too long. She forgot about me as soon as I was sent away. But all those truths can’t break the connection that links me to my Angel. No matter how hard I try, I’m still drawn to her, damned to want her even though she’s promised to another man. Being assigned to serve as her bodyguard is a torture so ingenious that I have to respect it. If I don’t deliver her to the altar, my life is forfeit to the Genoa family. But if I do, losing her again may kill me surer than a hitman's bullet.

Author's Note: This is the third novel in the Dark Protector world, David Raven's story, and a standalone.

Book review

If you love your alpha males, hot, dark, handsome and devilish then The Butcher is for you !! I loved every page I read in this story.

It had me intrigued from the very beginning until I turned that last page . Grinning from Ear to Ear.

The characters were delivered with depth and definition. We were shown inside there heads, the good , the bad and the ugly. We see growth in all aspects of the story line, twists and turns and a roller coaster ride of emotions put forth.

The Butcher is an un put down able hot romance , that will not only make your loins tingle but have you wanting to deal with baddies and give them there just deserts.

A leading lady that will sass the pants off you , and a dark broody but loving male lead. I truly enjoyed the main characters penned within this story, I have to say the author certainly had me on the edge of my seat many a times !!!

She created intrigue, fear and heartache among the pages, giving us a story that created havoc with the story line, a good solid delivered plot and characters both good and bad that you will eagerly await judge and jury !

The secondary characters were well entwined, but overall I cant recomend this book enough ! My first book by this author and it wont be my last !

An Edgy, woven tale of a love that spans years. Sacrifices , loss, and darkness laced stories of deceit , death and The tale of The Butcher. .

Even in darkness The Butcher finds his Raven . ** David and Angel **

An on the Edge of your seat read , at every page turn . The heat within the pages will warm your loins and have you rooting for a happily ever after .

With just Maddy and her mother as Bee's full-time carers, there's no time in Maddy's life for complications like friends, let alone a boyfriend. So when Bee joins a new Riding for the Disabled stable and they meet Albert, the last thing on Maddy's mind is falling in love.

Some things, she's about to learn, are outside of our control. Albert has resigned himself to always being a disappointment to his strict father. When he meets Maddy, he gets a glimpse of what being part of a family can be like, and of the tremendous sacrifices that people will make for the ones that they love.

DIFFERENTLY NORMAL is a heart-wrenching tale of love and loss, because sometimes it takes letting someone else in to discover who you really are . . .

Differently Normal is a spellbinding story of love that will leave you breathless.Q & A With Tammy Robinson

When did you first start writing and when did you finish your
first book?

My first full length
(ish) book was when I was around the age of twenty. I was working in a shoe
shop and every lunch hour I’d (handwrite) a story based loosely on my senior
high school when I developed Bulimia and depression. I have no idea where it
ended up but I bet I’d be cringing if I had the chance to read it now!

How did you choose the genre you write in?

I didn’t actually set
out to choose a specific genre, I just write the books that come to me. It’s
what I know I guess, and what I enjoy reading. I’ve toyed with ideas in other
genres before but they just don’t do it for me.

Where did you get your ideas to write this particular novel.

I had the idea for
the two main characters first, Maddy and Albert. I wanted this couple to both
come from difficult family circumstances, throw them together and see how they
could work it out.

Do you ever experience writer’s block?

No. Touch wood. I’ve
just finished writing my eighth book and so far, so good, the ideas keep on
coming.

Is there any particular author
or book that influenced you in any way either growing up or as an adult?

I would have to say that they’ve all influenced me. Every single book
I’ve ever read (I’d love to know that figure by the way, I suspect it would be
quite significant!) has taught me in some way. I do remember one book, Benny
and Shrimp; that book really showed me that you can write intriguing stories
about everyday people in everyday situations.

Is anything in your book based on
real life or real people? Or is it purely imagination or a bit of both?

Bit of both. Mostly fiction, but the character Bee is based on the
autistic daughter of a friend of mine.

What was your favourite part in
writing this story and why?

The developing love story between Maddy and Albert. I guess I’m a sucker
for romance, and watching those first buds of love develop is always fun to
write (and read).

How did you choose this title?

It was actually the suggestion of a friend of a friend in the UK. She’d
read it in a Terry Pratchett book, (who I adore reading). I was trying to come
up with a title and I knew it needed the word ‘Normal’ in. I
had l things like, ‘Our version of Normal’. When I asked a few friends what
they thought of the titles I’d come up with, one remembered her friend using
the term ‘Differently Normal’ to describe differently abled people, and I knew
it was right instantly.

What do you like to do in your spare
time?

Spare time? Sorry I’ve never heard of it, not with three small children
around! No seriously if I do get any time to myself it’s writing time. Always.
I can’t write when I’m looking after them, so as soon as my husband has a day
off I’m at my desk, hammering away at the keyboard. It’s just what I love to
do.

We were never meant to let go,but it happened anyway.Too bad I didn’t know someone was waiting to take my place, or I would've held on a lot tighter.

Two years later, we were exactly where we'd always planned to be.I'd kept my promise.He'd forgotten all about his.Not only had he moved on, but the person he'd moved on with was my best friend, leaving me to begin college with a broken heart.

I guess this is the part where I’m supposed to tell you some other guy stepped in, repaired my shattered pieces, and made me smile again.

This isn't that kind of story.

My heart might have been broken, but it refused to fall out of love.

My review 4 Daisy's

A beautifully delivered second chance romance, that will leave you starry eyed and filled with many emotions .

Suddenly Forbidden is a standalone romance. We see Daisy and Quinn's friendship from a very early age, and watch it blossom over the years as the story progress's . Daisy and Quinn's story is told -we see the changes in their relationship, child hood best friends, friends to lovers andof how when they both grow older they will meet up in college and life will be theirs forever.

Daisy goes off to Uni and awaits Quinns's arrival , hoping that the promises that they had exchanged years ago are still in place, but she got more then her heart had anticipated. Her heart broken and her dreams shattered, and what made it worse was the betrayal she felt. ** this certainly gives you the feels **

We go through Daisy's emotions of finding out her love has found another, and life is not at all what she had planned. Coming face to face with the love of her life, not only rips her heart open, but the betrayal of them both , leaves you aching and in despair with poor Daisy. ** the author did a wonderful delivery of giving the reader the depth and definition into both Daisy and Quinn's turmoil "" he loved them both but his heart knew .

One of my fav quotes

"How can something become suddenly forbidden when he was yours in the first place? "

The Prologue gives us good insight into both characters past. The development of their relationship, friendship and love. The past and present collide among the pages, we see two hearts still beating as one, the embers burning hot and a love that surpassed the moon and the stars.

I had to say I was torn on many occasions reading this story, I felt shattered for Daisy upon seeing the love of her life with another, the way in which her heart was breaking, the moment she realized and the loss and confusion. But as time goes on, Daisy knows her heart is not alone.

This story is real to life, I am sure many of us have been in this situation .. It was very real and penned with such vivid imagery.

The author beautifully wove her magic within the pages, to give love the direction that their hearts desired. We swoon, smile and get butterflies as the second chance for a love that never died is rekindled. As bad as being forbidden is , how can a love that is meant to be - Be ?

Lots of wonderfully penned characters to love, a few laughs and tears along the way and many moments where I wanted Daisy to get out those Talons and scratch that two faced so called BF eyes out !!

Lots of great secondary characters woven into the pages, a laugh or two from some of them and I have to say I really loved Daisy's and her roomies connection, she certainly was a friend worth having .

As a lover of Happily Ever afters, the Epilogue had me happy as a fish in water so to speak. I grinned and sighed and saw hearts, flowers and happily ever afters !! Such a beautifully written love story, I was seriously bursting from the feels of it all :D

A spellbinding novel about a boy and a girl who are torn between Forbidden , passion and propriety. What is right, what is wrong and what is forever . A true love that surpasses the moon and the stars for Forever and Happily ever afters.

Book review

She was an mouse seeking acceptance, he was the devil surrounded by havoc . He showed his darkness, she showed him the light. Together they conquer the evil surrounding them , the darkness engulfing them to find a beautiful forever through twisted beginnings .

Buried in Lies is beautiful yet twisted love story .A twisted love story , filled with monsters in the dark ,. A roller coaster ride with twists at every page turn . Some downright smokin hot smexy times , the chemistry was volcanic and moments of uncertainties .

The author has weaved a trail of intrigue from the very first page to an ending that’s unpredictable . A story line that will keep you intrigued till the very last page, and many moments that will have you gasping and thinking WTF !!

A Fast paced story, that is well delivered, characters that are damaged but as the pages flip by , we see growth within the pages . Lots of secondary characters that you will enjoy and an over HEA that all readers will grin after turning that last page.
